Wilshere wants trophies

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere believes sustained success could follow if the Gunners can end their trophy drought.

Arsene Wenger's side have not lifted silverware since winning the 2005 FA Cup, and that competition appears their last genuine chance to secure a trophy this term. The Gunners were dumped out of the Capital One Cup by Bradford, lie a distant sixth in the Barclays Premier League, and face a daunting Champions League last-16 clash with Bayern Munich next month.

They must come through a third-round replay with Swansea to book an FA Cup fourth-round trip to Brighton, after being held to a 2-2 draw in south Wales on Sunday, but Wilshere and his team-mates are desperate to finally taste success, saying: "We all want a trophy."
